Kiwis struggle to get Aus citizenship

13/06/2016

Businessman Michael Horton has taken out an advert to highlight the struggles Kiwis have to get Australian citizenship.

A former proprietor of the NZ Herald, Horton put the advert headlined "Australia & New Zealand - a world apart" in The Listener, which lists numerous countries whose citizens can apply for Australian citizenship.

Below that it says: "Countries whose citizens can no longer apply for Australian citizenship, unless applicants have been permanent residents of Australia prior to 26 February 2001."
